The Spear
A Novel of the Crucifixion
by Louis de Wohl
Called
"exceptionally
powerful," by the Chicago Sun-Times when it was
first released in 1955, and "a magnificent
novel," by the Boston Herald, this panoramic
novel of the last days of Christ ranges from the
palaces of imperial Rome to the strife-torn
hills of Judea. Here the conflict of love and
betrayal, revenge and redemption, reaches a
mighty climax in the drama of the Crucifixion. The
Spear is the full story of the world's
most dramatic execution, as it affected one of
its least-known participants--the man who hurled
his spear into Christ on the Cross. Among his
many successful historical novels, Louis de Wohl
considered The Spear the magnum opus of
his literary career.

Victory on the
Walls
A Story of Nehemiah
by Frieda Clark Hyman
Young
Thirteen-year-old Bani, though born in
Jerusalem, has lived from infancy with his uncle
in beautiful Susa, the city of the Persian King
Artaxerxes. Now, his Uncle Nehemiah wants to
leave his position of high honor as Cupbearer to
the King to return to Jerusalem, a city in ruins
and beset by every kind of trouble. Nehemiah's
request of the king, permission to return to
help his own people, could easily be
misconstrued as treasonous scheming. Seen
through the eyes of Bani, this novel dramatizes
a turning-point of history, in 445 BC,
when--through confrontation and daring
risks--Judaism was re-established in the
Promised Land, and purified for her unfolding
mission.

and into the hands of Amos, an emissary of King
Hezekiah seeking help for Judea from the
Egyptians against the Assyrians. Far from home,
near Jerusalem, and found out in his disguise as
a medical assistant, Taharka encounters two
kings in conflict. One is the mighty Assyrian,
Sennacherib, promising alliance; the other is
Hezekiah, the Jew who trusts in Yahweh. Taharka
must choose with whom to live or die.

King David and
His Songs
A
Story of the Psalms
by Mary Fabyan Windeatt
"They've
sent a mere boy to fight against me!" roared the
giant Goliath, as he caught sight of David
across the valley. "Am I just a dog?"
David looked at the
nine-foot giant. "You come to me with a sword
and with a spear," he called out fearlessly.
"But I come to you in the name of the Lord of
hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, which
you have defied!"
The giant bared his
teeth. "You say this--to me?"
Things did not look
good for David, yet wasn't the Lord on his side?
This book describes what happened next, plus the
many other great events in the life of this
shepherd boy who became a warrior, a hero, a
fugitive, a king, and the ancestor of Our Lord.
